Interesting.

It is important to realize that experts believe the NK situation would be totally unsustainable without China.

Ergo, if China were like NK, it wouldn’t last long, because there is no big-brother economy that could support the (disaster) situation.

It's also why foreign aid doesn't work. Corrupt politicians are effectively bribed to be incompetent. If they fix their country they lose the foreign aid.
